I have a neighbor who spent his entire work life working with the fbi (he was not fbi, supposedly)

he sees the dangers of our political world and he is afraid of what the future might bring, and what legacy he is leaving to his grandchildren

I always want to ask him why the fbi is not helping us, but appear to be protective the criminals in DC and the swamp

I want to have the courage to ask him, but I need the correct words, so it does not come out convoluted, or out of my fear or confusion
